Difference between @event and wait(event.triggered) in SystemVerilog and usage of non-blocking event

The event data type provides a handle to a synchronization object.

There are two ways through which we can wait for particular event to be triggered.
So let's understand what is the exact difference between those 2 ways.

-----------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------

An event trigger ->e is an instantaneous event. The event waiting process @ shall execute before the triggering process -> executes. If the trigger executes first, then the waiting process remains blocked.

The triggered event property evaluates to true (1'b1) if the given event has been triggered in the current time step and false (1'b0) otherwise.
Now you no longer have to worry which came first, the triggering process –> or the waiting process @ statement. But you still have to execute the waiting process @ in the current time slot to catch the event.

Let’s see the behavior with examples,

The other workaround is to use nonblocking event

Non-blocking event ->>
Nonblocking events are triggered using the ->> operator.

The effect of the ->> operator is that the statement executes without blocking, and it creates a nonblocking assign update event in the time in which the delay control expires or the event control occurs. The effect of this update event shall be to trigger the referenced event in the nonblocking assignment region of the simulation cycle.
